Eh, maybe. I think the only thing similar exterior-wise would be the overall design of the lower rear bumper, and even then the similarity is minimal at best (the way the colored body panels overhang with the diffuser at the bottom).

Honestly I thought the pre "LP" Lambos lacked a lot in terms of details.

The LP640 looks worlds better than the previous Murci, and the pre LP Gallardo is actually ugly to me. It's really strange considering how close the designs are to each other (between pre/post LP).

This LP560 has so many little details in it that I can't help but love it. I'm a sucker for cars that manage to get all the little things right, as well as maintaining general consistency and flow.

+1 on everything. The only 1 thing I dont like is how linear the rear of the car is. Everything is perfectly in place. However, there are so many cool details on this car. Even look at the funk head/tail-lights. They are edging into the future. Very unique!

1# German quality control compared to Italian.
2# I prefer to underdog which in this company it surely is.
3# AWD compared to RWD will mean being able to enjoy the car more of the time, regardless of weather conditions (not that I will ever have to opportunity).
4# Ferraris are for snobs who want people to know they are driving a Ferrari.

If you were to include the R8 then I totally agree that it's in a different class to the others, visually. Though I doubt even with a V10 engine under the hood the Audi will match them for outright performance, but I does believe it will get pretty close in overal dynamics.
